Time for a new diary and a new plan :D



2 straightforward aims for 2010
  1. get debt below £20k - currently £25,251.61
  2. get weight below 10 stone - currently 12 stone 1 lbs
Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!
Total debt @ Oct 2008: £29,226.42 Credit Card- £[STRIKE]7493.56[/STRIKE] - £7243.56
Weightloss : 0/34lbs

    It's all tongue in cheek - life IS shoes :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ok - the plan in more detail :D I am definately sticking with the theme of keeping it simple



    Money
    • continue to make all minimum payments set up by direct debit
    • tackle one debt at a time with any extra - Quidco, no council tax months etc
    • my minimum payments will reduce my debt by approx £4400 so I am looking to overpay by approx £50-£60 per month to meet my target (my budget allows me to do this)
    • save coppers in piggy
    • control day-to-day spending (food, magazines etc)
    Weightloss
    • aim to lose 1-2lbs per week
    • no fad diets - I need to eat less and exercise more (it's not rocket science)
    • exercise a minimum of twice per week (not paying out for gym membership at the moment, not unless I really get the exercise bug :o. I have DVD's and may attend pay-as-you-go classes)
    I will keep updating and will need all the fantastic support on here to keep me on track :D
